MSNBC Pathetically Apologizes For Tweeting Truth About Right Wing Racists

Описание: "Does someone at MSNBC get a bonus for every media report that includes the name "MSNBC" and the word "apology"? This time, the cable news network apologized for a tweet it posted last night suggesting/fearing/hoping conservatives would not like the new Cheerios Super Bowl ad, and directing readers to its report on the ad. The spot features the same interracial family used in an earlier Cheerios commercial that set off quite a discussion — YouTube's comments section on the ad was turned off when the talk got particularly heinous. "Maybe the rightwing will hate it, but everyone else will go awww: the adorable new #Cheerios ad w/ biracial family," MSNBC tweeted, directing readers to its report and ad video.

Outrage ensued, with headlines including "MSNBC Slimes 'Right Wing' as Racist Over Cheerios Ad," and "MSNBC Trolls The Right With Cheerios Tweet," among others."* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

The Young Turks (Winner - Best Political Podcast & Best Political News Site of 2009) were the first original talk show on Sirius satellite radio and the first live, daily webcast on the internet. But that is not the revolution.

We are a rare show that combines all of the news that people care about in one place. We are not afraid to talk about politics and entertainment and sports and pop culture. But that is not the revolution either.

The real revolution is in daring to be honest with people. We don't patronize our viewers or lie to them. We have real conversations and deliver the news honestly.
